In this episode of Leading With Heart, I’m sitting down with Isabel Churchill, a military spouse, former senior project manager, and now a master Reiki teacher and global mentor with over 3,000 active students. Her journey from clinical psychotherapy and government leadership in Canada to running her own holistic healing business is full of insight, wisdom, and radical transformation.

We’re chatting about what it means to lead with feminine energy, not as a gendered concept, but as a powerful skillset rooted in compassion, intuition, and collaboration.

Isabel shares her personal story of divorce, rediscovery, and starting over, how losing everything she thought she was became the catalyst for building something more aligned, authentic, and successful than she ever imagined. As a military spouse navigating frequent moves and identity shifts, Isabel’s resilience and heart-centered approach to leadership is nothing short of inspiring.

We also explore:

• The difference between masculine and feminine energy in leadership (and why you need both)
  How soft skills like compassion, gut instincts, and collaboration are actually power skills
• What it looks like to lead without the title—and why it matters
• Isabel’s biggest lessons in self-worth, healing, and doing the hard things scared

Whether you’re leading a team or simply trying to lead your own life with more intention, this episode will open your heart and mind to a new way of defining success.
